Food Storage Planner #4

To finish up our review of food storage planners, I wanted to find one that didn't involve the computer at all (except for printing it off of course). For many, it is helpful to do things by hand, to write in your own items and have your list right in front of you when you are down in your food storage room ( or up, or over...wherever you store your food). I have come across a couple of these or you can create your own...

• Go my http://www.myfoodstoragedeals.com/ and click on their "free downloads" to find their Food Storage Inventory Sheet.
• The USU Extension created a workbook a little over ten years ago that I also think can be helpful. They don't specifically list items you should store, but help you make your own list. One thing I like about their workbook is they have an inventory sheet for your pantry and one for your freezer. These areas often get overlooked when accounting for food storage, but are particularly important in calculating your 3-month supply. Click HERE to get to the workbook.

This wraps up our discussions on food storage planners. I hope it has been helpful. Finding a way to organize your thoughts and goals is so valuable when you are taking on a sometimes overwhelming task. Remember...we are just taking BABY STEPS here.

Next week we will start to make a list of the basic things we will want to store. For those who have asked questions about Powdered Milk...I promise we will talk about it during the next two weeks.

Happy Planning!
